 |
|
Hi guys,
I just bought a new PS/2 Trust optical mouse (3 buttons) MI-2100, but I can't get it works under my gentoo (and any other linux distro, I think):
I'm using gentoo-sources 2.6.12-r6 for amd64 and I think I configured my kernel as well as possible for PS/2 mice support.
When system boots, it turns the red laser light off and when i try
| Code: | | #cat /dev/input/mice |
or
i get some "X" on 1,2 and 3 button pressed.
I think there is probably a problem on hw detection on system booting, but I really don't know where to put my hands on!!!
I also tried compiling psmouse as a mosule, and passing it a lower protocol, but with no result!
Mouse and PC are ok, because I did have winzoz installed by the seller i bought my PC from and i did use the mouse!!
Can anybody help me please????
THANKS!!!
S.G.
PS:
| Code: |
#dmesg | grep PS/2
PNP: PS/2 Controller... irq 1,12
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
input ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse on isa0060/serio1

Nobody knows anything about?
I found that on 2.4.* kernels the mouse does function very well!!!!
What's the matter with 2.6.12 kernel?

all i can suggest is take your 2.4 kernel config file and compare it with your 2.6 config.
u could either do it by hand or use |

In your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... edit it as follows...
| Code: | Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
|
Also... in your kernel make sure you built in support for usb that you'll need.
in Input devices....

It's not an X problem, it's just a kernel junk:
I configured kernel as well as I know, but there's no way to get my mouse working on 2.6.* kernels!!!
I need help from who know how to set lowlevel control to PS/2 port!!!

TRUST AMI MOUSE 250S sympthoms:
after loading the kernel, if you move the mouse the red-light of the optical sensor turns off.
buttons seems to work, but then moving mouse produces nothing.
If the issue is the same, you need to patch your kernel. And I warn you, is not
a real patch but an hack.
I posted here my hack, will
work provided you don't have any other mouse working with ps2 port.
I also filled a kernel bug report here
hoping for someone to program a better patch, but it seems that no one is listening,
maybe they think I'm the only one with this issue....
